IBM MQ classes for Java connection modes

The way you program for IBM MQ classes for Java has some dependencies on the connection modes we want to use.

If we use client connections, there are a number of differences from the IBM MQ MQI client but it is conceptually similar. If we use bindings mode we can use fastpath bindings and can issue the MQBEGIN command. You specify which mode to use by setting variables in the MQEnvironment class.

• IBM MQ classes for Java client connections
  When IBM MQ classes for Java is used as a client, it is like the IBM MQ MQI client, but has a number of differences.
• IBM MQ classes for Java bindings mode
  The bindings mode of IBM MQ classes for Java differs from the client mode in three main ways.
• Defining which IBM MQ classes for Java connection to use
  The type of connection to use is determined by the setting of variables in the MQEnvironment class.
